[TheForge] FW: ITC 213 question

[Jay Hayes]

Martin,

I have been selling  ITC products for many years. ITC-296A is the 
recommended top coat for use over ITC-100HT.

ITC-213 is a coating used to protect metal subjected to high 
temperatures. It was not developed for use on refractory. ITC-213 is 
designed bond to the metal and minimize the erosion of the metal. It is 
brown in color.

ITC-100 HT is the best product to coat ceramic fiber refractory. ITC-100 
can also be used on fire brick, fire insulating block, castable 
refractory and ramable refractory. It is best to lightly mist the 
surface of the refractory with clean water before applying the ITC-100. 
This retards premature drying of the coating. The brush used to apply 
the coating should also be dampened. The application of the coating 
should not be over worked on ceramic fiber. In other words, use the 
brush to apply the coating in a smooth even stroke. Don't brush back and 
forth or it will pull the fibers and create hair balls.

ITC-200 EZ can be used to repair damaged refractory that has first been 
coated with ITC-100 HT. I have also used ITC-100 and tufts of ceramic 
fiber to repair damaged refractory.

Hope this helps,
